Season 1

Episode Details

Have you ever stopped to think about all the information you share online? From your likes and dislikes to your location and even your personal conversations, your personal data is not only collected by companies every day but, thanks to new technologies, is also made available to individuals and groups around the world. So what happens with all of that seemingly harmless information when the wrong person has access to it?

In this episode, we take a closer look at the world of technology and how it affects your personal privacy. We talk with our guests about the issue of inadvertently sharing private information, explore ways in which our personal data can be exploited, and discuss what you can do to protect your information and keep it, and yourself, safe.

But don't worry, we're not just going to talk about boring rules – This week’s Episode Challenge will help you see firsthand just how easily you can find someone starting with a simple picture.

So, grab your headphones, and get ready to learn all about the not-so-secret life of your data. It's time to take control of your online identity and keep your private info safe!
